BnooKLYS MD, Nov. 8. 1887.
To the Citizens Of Anne arundel Cou't-
Ia, but especially the OysternaeH.
GENTLEMEN -
II has been asserted by some parties
who are unfriendly TO me, and who thus
desire to prejudice Democratic votes
against me. that / am connected with,
and concerned in, the business OF dredg-
ing for oysters and will therefore be IN
friendly TO the interests of the tongers.
| wish to pronounce this assertion
malicious falsehood. have neither in
terest in. nor connection with, dredging
for oysters, nor with any one VINO IS con-
cerned in that business and never ola nave.
I have not dollars worth OF interest 10
any boat engaged in the oyster business,
and never did have. My business Is con
fined to my. brickyards and do not even
know any man as such in Baltimore CITY,
who is engaged. in oyster dredging, OF
who in anywise shares in the profits OF
the business, or boats, unless it be merely
as q speaking acquaintance. On the
other hand all my sympathies are with
the toucmen. / think their rights have
been invaded by the dredgers; and think
a continuation of dredging can only re-
suit in the final destruction OF the oyster
beds and the complete ruin of this indus
try. Holding these views, II am elected
10 the Senate, l shall do all in my power
for the protection of the tonger's interest,
and il their interest and the interest OF the
oyster dredger at any time come in con
tact shall give the preference to the
former. My vote shall always be given
to increase the oyster grounds allotted to
the separate use of the tongers, but never
to decrease them. And in this as in all
other matters of legislation affecting the
interests of our county, l snail be govern
ed simply and solely by a conscientious
desire to do that which will bring the
greatest good to the largest numbers.
Very Respectfully,
~ GEORGE n PoTEE.

The Overland Monthly" for
November has just appeared with
a more than usually bright and at
traCtive table of contents. just as
the "Atlantic" has come to be the
closet exponent of the better New
England life, so the Overland" is
linked with all that is minded
and best of our newer Western civ
ilization. 1t presents the Pacific
Coast to the world, as we would
most choose to have it presented.
The dignity of Its tone makes it
welcome with cautious readers who
are eager to learn of the section it
represents, yet suspicious of the
overdrawn descriptions of Califor-
MIA life, that abound in less scru-
pulous periodicals. It's chief charm,
however, lies in its freshness. Es-
pecially strong in the Departments
is the article on s'Recent Poetry"
which, while not sparing the criti-
cal rod. gives generous praise to
what is good in contemporary verse.
The Overland is always pleas
ant visitor and each month becomes
more of . necessity to the magazine
reader both here and in the East.

LOTTERIES run away with a gr

LOTTERIES run away with a great
deal of money They have a fas-
cination for persons of slender
means, who invest in them their
savings in the hope of large returns
but only in rare instances does the
venture pay. The mania at one
time ran very high in France. The
people were threatened with impov-
erishment; the poor got poorer and
those In moderate circumstances
became poor. The Government
many years ago in view of the in
oreasiug poverty from this source
abolished the lottery business and
the good effect was seen within a
few months in doubling and treb-
ling the sums deposited in savings
banks. Much poverty can be pre-
vented in other lands in the same
way. If. the money lost in lotte-
ries were saved, thousands would be
better off, wives and children would
have more comforts, and much suf-
fering would be averted.

In every community there are
more or less persons who continual
ly find fault with the government
of their city and county, when they
arc in part responsible for such
government and deserve to have
just such state of affairs as exists.
Where the right of suffrage is uni
versal all responsibility for govern
ment rests upon the voter; as well
because of the non exercise of his
right as because of its exercise.
Therefore, if any man has any
grievances to make against the con-
duct of present political affairs, let
him assert then at the polls on Tues
day next, or forever after hold his
peace.

SALISBURY, Nd, the home of
Senator Jackson, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, which was
almost totally destroyed 10y fire one
year ago-the estimated loss to
property amounting to over one
million of dollars-has been entire
ly rebuilt with structures of most
magnificent proportions, and is to-
day one of the most flourishing
towns on the peninsula. We VEN
ture to say no other people under
similar circumstances would have
accomplished half as much. 1t is
pluck and energy that tells.

TaE Distillers' Trust, which was
recently formed to maintain the
price of whisky, seems to meet with
q great deal of discouagemeht in
consequence of the refusal of a
number of distillers to enter the
organization. This Trust has two
difficulties to contend with First,
the consumption of spirits for drink
is declining; secondly, it happens
to be Trust that can derive no as.
sistance from the tariff. This is a
trust that would only effect those
who use the spirits, and not the
masses-therefore the discourage
ment it receives.

The Fiftieth Congress may, if
it choose, says the Philadelphia
Record, put in some good work in
reforming the laws under which the
possession of the public lands may
be obtained. The statutes are too
complex, and the widely varying
provisions concerning entries of
timber land, mineral land, swamp
land and all that sort of thing have
carved out a broad highway through
the laws for fraud and robbery.
The suggestion of Land Commits
sioner Sparks is that all public land
laws be repealed except one absolute
homestead law, requiring actual
residence, cuhivation and improve
ment for the homestead period of
five years. This would annoy the
land grabbers, who under a false
pretense of developing the resources
of the country have been stealing
empires in area for many years; but
it would suit the people exactly.

GOVERNOR David b. Hill in his
brilliant speech in Brooklyn on
Tuesday night effectually disposed
of the SANDER that he was not in
sympathy with President Cleveland,
and that he would be pleased with
the defeat of the Democratic party
in New York this year as a means
of preventing Cleveland's renomi
nation. The speech was an able
and eloquent defense of the princi-
Piles and policy of the national Dem
ocratic party.
